FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN ` Classified as Confidential NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN iii Foreword I am delighted to present the Revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (2020-2043) produced by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning. The Revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) gives update on some of the infrastructure development activities, spending, and progress achieved on the capital projects executed across the seven key infrastructure asset classes namely: Transportation; Energy; Social Infrastructure; Information and Communications Technology; Housing; Agriculture, Water & Mining; Security and Vital Registration. The NIIMP provides the roadmap for building a world-class infrastructure that will guarantee sustainable economic growth and development. It would enable the nation to take advantage of the vast opportunities in the domestic and global economies to enhance the nation’s competitiveness and improve the quality of life of the citizenry. In recent years, the Federal Government adopted different strategies in addressing the huge infrastructure gap in all the sectors of the Nigerian economy. Some of these strategies include the Nigerian Vision 20:2020, the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) and the Economic Recovery & Growth Plan (ERGP) that form the basic government blueprint for building world-class infrastructure required to grow the economy and improve Nigeria’s global competitiveness. The revised NIIMP provides an integrated view of infrastructure development in Nigeria, with clear linkages across key sectors. It identifies and elaborates on enablers for successful implementation in line with the current economic realities. It takes stock of existing infrastructure and identifies the required investments to bring infrastructure to the level desired by Nigerians in line with the country’s growth aspirations. The document also specifically sets out the goal of raising Nigeria’s infrastructure stock to at least 70.0 per cent by the year 2043. When this goal is achieved, its impact on nation-building cannot be overemphasized as it will stimulate desired economic growth and development in social and human capital of the nation. It is, therefore, plausible to say that the growth of any nation’s economy is largely dependent on the state of its infrastructure. In order to close the huge infrastructure deficit, Government has to invest more in infrastructure development such as roads, electricity, housing, agriculture, water, healthcare, and education amongst others, across all sectors of the economy. This investment will usher in the country’s desired economic growth levels, provide employment for our teeming youths and create wealth for all.The involvement of the private sector is also very important in improving and increasing the infrasture stock. In conclusion, the Revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan is a product of wide consultations with stakeholders drawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Academia, the Private Sector and Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning (FMFBNP). While commending the efforts of all concerned towards the achievement of this great milestone, I would like to further urge all stakeholders involved in the implementation of this blueprint to relentlessly work towards its actualisation so as to ensure that the desired maximum impact on the economy and the livelihood of the people is attained. Once more, I have no doubt that with careful implementation of the revised NIIMP, the country is on a predictable and irreversible path to collective prosperity. I would therefore like to say thank you all for the support and dedication towards building a secured future for a greater Nigeria. Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR President, Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN i Preface The National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) is Nigeria's blue-print for boosting and modernizing the nation's stock of infrastructure, over the next 23 years. The document was first drafted in 2012 and approved in 2014. Ever since, the Federal Government had followed through the implementation of the Plan with varying degrees of success. Amongst others, Government had set up the Infrastructure Delivery Coordinating Unit (IDCU) within the Infrastructure Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning in line with the NIIMP framework to coordinate the implementation of the Programme. More than ever before, the Buhari Administration had given a renewed vigour to infrastructural development and the implementation of the NIIMP. This has reflected in the execution of the priorities of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) and improved budget allocations. Taking account of Government efforts in infrastructure delivery over the years as well as new developments within the domestic and global environments, the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning felt the need to review the document to reflect these developments. Consequently, the Ministry initiated the review process in 2019 and this document is the outcome of that exercise. The NIIMP, therefore, is set to liberate the economy from the shackles of weakening infrastructure and the bottlenecks it portends to an enviable height in the future and place it on a solid growth path. It provides the framework that will guide interventions, investments, as well as budgetary allocations to the sector in the next 23 years (2020-2043). The Reviewed NIIMP has taken stock of the existing infrastructure, and future stock requirements, including total resource requirements, across key sectors of the economy and has identified critical enablers for the promotion of private sector investment. The document presents a strong platform for improved Public and Private sector partnership and Donor support for boosting infrastructural development and empowering Nigerians. There is no doubt that the estimated resource requirement for NIIMP's implementation is enormous. We are not unmindful of the challenges that lay ahead. However, we are optimistic that, with the various bankable projects identified under the NIIMP and investment by both international and domestic investors in the Nigerian economy, the NIIMP objectives are attainable. I must acknowledge that a lot of work went into the crafting of this document and I thank all those who contributed to the successful development of this policy document, particularly members from the Central Bank of Nigeria, National Bureau of Statistics, the Academia, Organized Private Sector and staff of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning for their commitment and hard work, especially in the inclusion of the macroeconomic framework. I also acknowledge the e ort of the Editorial Committee, who painstakingly worked to ensure that the final document is of impeccable quality. ff The Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning is committed to coordinating the implementation of the NIIMP and the provision of necessary support to stakeholders to ensure that the noble objective of the document is e ectively realised. ff Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed (Mrs.) Honourable Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN ii Acknowledgement The revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) is a product of wide consultations with stakeholders drawn from Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Sub-National Governments, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Academia, Private Sector, and Development Partners. Based on these consultations, consistent macroeconomic parameters and projections were developed, while investment requirements by asset classes and region, with estimates for the national and sub-national levels of government and medium and long-term sector targets to guarantee consistency of the document, were revised. My sincere gratitude goes to the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, the Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, GCON and the Leadership of Sub-National Governments. The commitment of the Federal Government of Nigeria in addressing the huge infrastructure gap in all the sectors of the economy is a welcome development. This is evident in the allocation of 30 per cent of total budget appropriation to the implementation of capital projects by key infrastructure MDAs. This work would not have been possible without the support of the Honourable Minister, Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed (Mrs); her support is highly appreciated. It is practically impossible to overlook the immense support by all the Honourable Ministers and the Honourable Ministers of State in the successful review of the NIIMP. Let me also appreciate the commitment of the Permanent Secretary (MBNP) who chaired the Technical Committee on the Reviewed NIIMP. My sincere gratitude goes to the Technical Team on the Review of NIIMP, the management and staff of the Infrastructure Department of the Ministry that had worked tirelessly to ensure the timely revision of the NIIMP. While commending all efforts towards the achievement of this great milestone, I seek the
